Gizmo Project 4 beta adds video call support
Sure, Skype may have added support for high resolution (640 x 480) video calls recently. But Skype isn't the only VoIP game in town. Up until recently Gizmo Project was a voice-only alternative to Skype. But the beta version of Gizmo Project 4 includes video support at resolutions up to 352 x 288.Like Skype, Gizmo Project lets you make free calls to other Gizmo users. You can also pay a fee to call land lines or cellphones, and another fee to receive phone calls from land lines or cellphones. Unlike Skype, Gizmo lets you call some contacts for free on their land lines (many restrictions apply), and you can get a free call-in number if you're willing to put up with a Nevada area code (775).
Here are some of the improvements in the latest beta:
- Adds video preferences to options window
- Improved calls tab
- Added new incoming call indicator
- Fixed several video call performance issues
- New graphics throughout the client
